(It would also work on most other aircraft in the USAF inventory - The F-15, the F-14, the F-5's front piece..) (...)

| | | | | | Maybe use the star wars low-sloped canopy for the front half, and the Slave I steep-sloped canopy piece for the back half? It might be a little blocky, though. Hmmm -s (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.build, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)

The biggest problem with that is: A) The friction-attachment pieces on the back of the X-Wing's canopy B) The little midget-bumps that (...)

| | | | | Actually, I think you have it backwards. The front of the Hog's canopy is sloped steeply from the nose to the top, and the back of the canopy slopes gently from the top of the canopy to the fuselage. Chris (...)

| | | | | That is true. I had not thought about the metal bars, I was just thinking about the general shape.
